chance shot.
On my way back from a cycle, went for a nosy, he was working, spoke for 10-15 mins then asked him if he minded me taking a shot.
set camera up then carried on talking while he worked.
He couldn’t work, talk and pay attention to the camera, took two shots, the one above and one closer with more of the pot and his hands.

First ever attempt at using a DSLR. Borrowed a canon eos 1100D for scenes like this whilst on my holiday.

Although this is nowhere near as good as most of the other pictures on this thread, I am really pleased with it. Taken using the standard 18-55mm lens. The wife is also impressed with the quality, so much so she doesn’t like our current compact camera any more, and is already looking at getting something much better.
